Corporations-Suck.com reveals the disregard corporations have for the earth

Corporations-Suck.com welcomes you
Description
Corporations-Suck is a plain english website dedicated to opposing the increasing corporate control over the lives of people. It is a website rooted in the belief that large corporations do cost analysis studies on how to get what they want and deny the people what they need if the people's needs are ever at cross-purposes with what corporations want. Corporations act together in an organized way and have their fingers on the pulse of how much it costs to buy Congress and how much it costs to buy public opinion and are out actively buying up enough of both to serve their own selfish interests.
Corporations today are more in control than at any point in the past. The notion that there is any anti-trust policy in our government has become little more than a highly publicized sham. That is to say that the media will trot out a big Microsoft case every now and again to make people believe that the people in charge of regulating monopolies are actually doing something when in fact they aren't. Adam Smith, when he envisioned capitalism, envisioned a system where the consumer and the entrepreneur would both benefit. Today we have inherited a system where the consumer is manhandled and a handfull of the decendants of entrepreneurs benefit off of what their ancestors innovated. Nearly every industry you can think of is dominated by one to three huge corporations that can basically fix prices at will. They keep up an image of competition and get people to talk about 'WOW this one is cheaper than that one' for a few months or 'that one is cheaper than this one' for a time but it makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things.
Corporations own the products, the distribution channels, and the points of distribution. Capitalism was supposed to be this marvelous invention where anyone who could create a better product or produce the same product more cheaply could break in and provide that service for the consumers. No longer. Think about how much money it costs to put sugar, water and some bubbles in a can. One would think that you could do that for a lot less than a dollar, so in theory it should be possible for anyone to start a new cola company and compete. Have you started a cola company lately? The idea is ridiculous. No one would sell it for fear of what Coke and Pepsi would do to them and in many cases Coke and Pepsi themselves would be the people you'd have to ask. They own the physical machines and/or have exclusive contracts in all of the points of distribution. The same is true for music. How much do you think it costs to encode some music onto a piece of plastic and slap some cover art in there? Yet the music industry still insists that there is no price fixing when they sell CDs for $20.00. Then even when they are caught price fixing there are no serious reprisals. Breaking the "law" is just the cost of doing business and whatever mild penalties there are for collusion has already been budgeted for and doesn't bother anyone to pay and is probably given right back in tax breaks the next year anyway.
